Also consider the MHDT Stockholm v. 2. It is highly tweakable. When I first heard mine in my system it sounded too warm and mushy. That shifted when I added some footers, and then it improved again when I switched the tube to a western electric. Lastly I upgraded the chip. It is now highly resolving and natural sounding. I primarily use the usb input from my Aurender N100h music server and the sound is intoxicating. It's a bulls eye for me.
Up grading a MHDT Paradisea+ DAC
I bought a used MHDT Paradisea+ DAC here on AG. I feed it with a Audiophileo2/PurePower USB converter. I really like this DAC in my system and am considering getting a newer version of MHDT DAC. Thay now make a Canare which is supposed to serve as a updated replacement for the Paradisea+ and have offered the Havana for several years now. I am asking for advice thoughts on these MHDT DAC as a possible upgrade. I believe both have 2 coax inputs which would be a plus over the single on the Paradisea. How about the USB inputs on the others. Would they allow me to replace the USN converter?
Any thoughts appreciated.
